Mold Remediation
Mold threatens both your property and your family's health. Our certified mold remediation team provides thorough inspection, containment, removal, and clearance testing to eliminate mold colonies and prevent recurrence — all backed by post-remediation verification.
Certified & Trusted by Industry Leaders
What's included
Mold Remediation
Professional mold removal that eliminates the problem at its source.
- Comprehensive Mold Inspection
- Thermal imaging, moisture mapping, and air quality sampling identify the full extent of mold contamination including hidden colonies behind walls and in HVAC systems.
- Engineered Containment
- Polyethylene barriers and negative air pressure prevent mold spores from spreading to unaffected areas during removal, protecting your family throughout the process.
- HEPA Filtration
- Hospital-grade HEPA air scrubbers capture mold spores as small as 0.3 microns, cleaning the air continuously during and after remediation work.
- Source Moisture Elimination
- We identify and resolve the moisture source feeding the mold — leaks, condensation, poor ventilation — because mold always returns if the moisture problem persists.
- Antimicrobial Treatment
- EPA-registered fungicides are applied to all affected and adjacent surfaces to kill residual mold and inhibit future growth on treated materials.
- Third-Party Clearance Testing
- An independent environmental hygienist performs post-remediation air and surface sampling to verify mold levels are within normal ranges before containment is removed.
In-depth
How Our Mold Remediation Process Works
Mold is more than an eyesore — it is a genuine health hazard. Species like Stachybotrys (black mold), Aspergillus, and Penicillium release mycotoxins and allergens that can cause respiratory problems, allergic reactions, headaches, and in severe cases, neurological symptoms. If you can see mold or smell that characteristic musty odor, the problem is likely far more extensive than what is visible. Our remediation process addresses both the visible contamination and the hidden colonies that typical cleaning misses.
Every mold remediation project begins with a thorough inspection. We use thermal imaging to detect moisture patterns behind walls, moisture meters to quantify the extent of water intrusion, and air sampling to identify mold species and spore concentrations. This assessment determines the scope of remediation needed and establishes baseline conditions for post-remediation comparison.
During remediation, containment is paramount. We construct sealed barriers using 6-mil polyethylene sheeting and establish negative air pressure within the work area so that any disturbed spores are captured rather than spreading through your home. Within containment, our technicians remove mold-contaminated materials, HEPA-vacuum all surfaces, and apply antimicrobial treatments. For structural elements that cannot be removed — like framing and subfloor — we use media blasting or sanding to remove surface mold followed by encapsulation.
The most critical step in mold remediation is solving the moisture problem that caused the mold in the first place. Whether it is a hidden plumbing leak, poor attic ventilation, foundation seepage, or inadequate bathroom exhaust, we identify and resolve the root cause. Without moisture source correction, mold will return regardless of how thorough the remediation was. We also recommend ongoing humidity monitoring to catch any future issues early.

"We had been sick for months before discovering mold behind our bathroom walls from an old leak. Flood Doctor contained the area, removed all the affected material, and fixed the plumbing issue that caused it. The air quality tests came back clean and within two weeks our whole family felt better. Life-changing service."
